Al Ettifaq eyes €10 million deal for Manchester United’s Martial in January
In the upcoming January transfer window, Al Ettifaq is believed to be targeting a €10 million deal to get the services of Manchester United’s out-of-favor forward, Anthony Martial.
The Red Devils are open to offers for the Frenchman, who appears to have no future at Old Trafford after his contract was not renewed.
Despite a frustrating loan spell at Sevilla 18 months ago, Martial has remained at the club, leaving many confused as to why he is still in the team.
With Erik ten Hag ready to overhaul the front line, Martial’s chances at Manchester United decreased even further. The club tried hard to get rid of him, but it was in failure until today.
As the January transfer window gets closer, Al Ettifaq appears as a possible destination for Martial, possibly offering a lifeline for the struggling striker.
The Saudi club, led by Steven Gerrard, is seemingly willing to pay €10 million for the French forward’s abilities, an amount that could meet Manchester United’s expectations.
While other clubs, including PSG, have shown interest in Martial, Manchester United’s decision not to renew his contract makes his exit even more likely.
However, doubt surrounds his immediate exit in January, since the Red Devils have few on options in the crucial center-forward position.
Martial’s future hangs in the balance as the football world awaits for Manchester United’s search for a competent backup striker to be resolved.
The prospective move to Al Ettifaq adds an intriguing layer to the story, and only time will tell if the €10 million offer will be sufficient to persuade Martial to leave the Theatre of Dreams.
